[jwplayer dWIP3S6z]The Pokemon Company revealed the new Champion’s Path expansion on July 23. The upcoming TCG set is based on Sword & Shield’s Gym Leaders, and will also reportedly include a fiery Charizard V Card that collectors won’t want to miss.
The Pokemon Trading Card Game just got a little bigger, as it’s getting another expansion pass in September. The new set titled ‘Champion’s Path’ will finally bring Sword & Shield’s popular Gym Leaders to the TCG.

The TCG is getting expanded in a massive way on September 25, as according to The Pokemon Company, Champion’s Path will include “15 awesome Pokemon V and 3 gigantic Pokemon VMAX and 19 Trainer cards.”
Outlet ‘PokeGuardian‘ reports that the expansion will also be getting an Elite Trainer Box which will include a new full art V Charizard card. The new limited set item will cost $49.99 at most retail outlets.
According to the publication, the box will include 10 booster packs, the full art Charizard V promo, and 65 card sleeves which will feature the Fire-type’s epic Gigantamax form.
Champion’s Path will also include Pin Collection boxes based on each Gym Leader in Sword & Shield and will retail for $14.99. On top of including three booster packs, the sets will feature a collectible pin in the shape of the Gym’s badge.
Since the Gen VIII game had exclusive Leaders to each version, a collector’s box based on the city Stow-On-Side will sell for $24.99. The set will include five booster packs, and have two sets of pins for both Trainers.
Popular Pokemon outlet ‘Serebii’ uploaded more photos of the Gym-based boxes to Twitter. The tweet features sets for Motostoke, Turfield, and Hulbury.
